Product Description
by Cindy Cherry (Author)
Don Cherry is one of the most well-known Canadians and also one of the most controversial, known for his outspoken opinions on hockey, politics and any number of topics. On Remembrance Day, November 11, 2019, it all came to an end.
However, there's more to Don Cherry than ex-hockey player, coach and broadcaster, which his critics tend to ignore, and who better to share his story than his daughter? Writing from a privileged insider's perspective, Cindy Cherry offers a frank account of her father's life and career in front of and behind the camera, on and off the ice-not to mention behind the bench.
Touching on everything from his playing days and coaching career to his rise as one of Canada's most sought-after broadcasters and product spokespersons, Cindy also discusses his continual support of many charities and how all his endeavours affected his family. This book provides an intimate look at the inside world of hockey not only as a sport but also as a lifestyle.
No matter what your opinion of Don Cherry is going in, it's sure to be challenged and enlightened by this nuanced, unflinching account of a life that is as colourful, flamboyant and controversial as his language and the suits for which he is famous.
A portion of the sales from this book will support: Don Cherry's Pet Rescue Foundation.
